Seriously though, this is what break glass accounts are for. Create an account that can access your backups (preferably only the backup system) with a really long password and keep it offline in a safe place. Like a safe. Set up alerting if the break glass account ever gets used.
There’s absolutely no need to keep an unsecured firearm for bears though. They don’t generally break into houses, so you’ll always have time to get the rifle out of the safe.
Also, if you keep a gun to shoot intruders, but haven’t installed a steel door and window bars, then I don’t think you’re worried about safety; you just want to shoot someone.
If you don’t like the term settler, it’s not even than. Just the acknowledgement that you’re with on treaty land, or more likely, on land not yet covered by a treaty. I guess there’s the implicit acknowledgement that signing and upholding treaties is a good thing.
Unless you grew up in the '80s. Jesus, what a shitshow. Though I notice a lot of nostalgia for the '80s from people who aren’t old enough to remember it.
Thus converting a workforce of poorly paid fast food employees into one of highly paid utility workers.
hmm. I prefer to live by “I’ve cut it three times and it’s still too short”
And the rest of the time it shouldn’t just be choice of locking them in a room vs entertaining them. Just include them in whatever you were going to do anyway. Cleaning the house? Kid gets a small/toy broom. Laundry? Kid carries empty baskets or something. Holding wrenches or flashlights for repairs is traditional.
None of these things will make the tasks go faster, of course, but the child is occupied and learning to be helpful, and you aren’t driving yourself crazy trying to run a household and entertain them 24/7 at the same time.
And this was required because the SR-71 started flying in 1966, and the first GPS satellite didn’t launch until 1978. The full GPS constellation wasn’t finished until 1990.
Even corporations that are cooperatives? Municipalities are corporations (in my country). Are they bastards? How about corporations that are wholly government owned? The USSR was full of those.
Altruistically? Rosneft, the largest oil company in Russia. Help climate change and cripple Putin’s war machine in one go.
For me? Central Square, purveyors of shitty enterprise software.
Gonna want to stock up with savings like that.
